Getting to Ballymore Stadium by Public Transport
Northern Busway to Herston, then a short walk to the home of Queensland rugby.
18 June 2026 · 4 min read
The simple way in: take a bus to Herston, where the Northern Busway and frequent local routes drop you a short walk from Ballymore. The busway is a bus-only road, so you skip the traffic around the hospital precinct and arrive without hunting for a park.
Here is the detail by busway, bus and train, plus parking and the trip home. The trip planner will find the quickest route from where you are.
The fastest way in
Ballymore is in Herston, beside the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital. The Northern Busway runs right through here with stations at RBWH and Herston, so a busway service from the city is quick and frequent, then it is a short walk to the ground. Plenty of regular buses also run along Gilchrist Avenue and Bowen Bridge Road.

By train
Ballymore is not on the train line, but Bowen Hills station is the nearest, with a short bus or a longer walk to finish. For most people the busway or a direct bus is the easier choice.
Parking, and the easier option
Herston is a busy hospital precinct with limited and time-restricted parking, so on event days a bus or busway service is usually less hassle than circling for a space. Let the planner pick your route and you can leave the car at home.
Getting home after
After the match, the Northern Busway and local buses run back to the city and beyond. Head to the nearest stop and the planner will show the next departure. For late finishes, our last train home guide covers the after-dark network.
